UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.

STANLEY N. B. WESTLAKE, OF LONDON, ENGLAND;

CONSTRUCTION OF RES ERVOIR -PENHOLDERS.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 618,967, dated February 7, 1899.

I Application filed April 9, 1898. Serial No. 677,042- (N 0 model.)

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, STANLEY NEAL BOND- FIELD WESTLAKE, a subject of the Queen of Great Britain, residing at 147 College street, Camden Town, London, England, have in= vented certain new and useful Improvements in the Construction of Reservoir-Penholders, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to improvements in the construction of reservoir penholders, whereby a regular and uniform supply of ink is insured and the degree of supply regulated according to requirements.

My invention will be clearly understood from the following description aided by the annexed drawings, in Which- Figure 1 is a longitudinal sectional view of my reservoir-penholder complete, and Fig. 2 a longitudinal sectional view of the interior parts thereof.

The figures show the penholder greatly enlarged to clearly illustrate the construction.

For the purpose of my invention I construct the ink-tube A A in two pieces, the part A carrying at one end the air-tube II, which airtube H passes up through the ink-tube A and projects well up into the ink-tube A.

The ink-tube A and air-tube H (in one piece) is pushed into and tightly fits one end of a sleeve E, this having a screw-thread I at one end for connection of the tube A, the portion of the sleeve E from that part encircling and holding the ink-tube A to the pennib end being partly cut away, so that only sufficient is left to hold the pen-nib D, as seen by dotted lines, and thus allowing pen-nibs of any size to be used. A supplementary sleeve J may incase the sleeve E.

B is a cap screwed to the outer end of the ink-tube A and carries a rubber cushion M 46 to insurea tight seal on the air-tube end when the cap B is screwed home.

G is a capping going over the pen-nib end and sleeve E when the article is required to be carried in the pocket.

0 is a hole in the ink-tube A for allowing the ink to flow to the pen-nib D.

In action the cap B is unscrewed to remove the seatingM from the end of the air-tube H to allow the pen-nib end of the tube to pass along the tube and into the ink-tube A A to allow the ink contained therein to flow to the pen-nib D by the hole Oand in accordance with the degree of flow required, so that the cap B, with its seating M, is more or less adjusted to the end of the air-tube H.

What I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

A reservoir-penholder consisting of an inktube A, A, and an air-tube H; the air-tube H being part of the ink-tube A and projecting from the exterior of the pen-nib'end of the ink-tube A through same and into the inktube A; a sleeve E encircling the ink-tube A and having one end screw-threaded for attachment of the ink-tube A, there being a hole O in the ink-tube A for allowing the ink to flow to the under side of an ordinary pennib D; and an air-admission plug B, all constructed and arranged substantially as described.

In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand in presence of tWo subscribing Witnesses.

STANLEY N. B. WESTLAKE.
